Frederick N. Tebbe
Frederick Nye Tebbe was born in Oakland, California on March 20, 1935. His father, Charles L. Tebbe, worked for the United States Forest Service so Fred’s early education took place in Montana, Oregon, Maryland and Pennsylvania. He married Margaret Manzer in 1960, and they had a son (Andy, born in 1966) and a daughter (Sarah, born in 1971). He died of pancreatic cancer at his home in Delaware on September 28, 1995.
==Education==
Fred obtained a Bachelor’s degree in chemistry from Pennsylvania State University. His senior research focused on the synthesis of diboron tetrachloride from BCl3 and Hg discharge cells under the direction of Professor Thomas Wartik. Wartik encouraged Fred to join the group of Professor Riley Schaeffer at Indiana University. Instead, Fred spent a year at Montana State University studying psychology and philosophy: After this interlude and thoughts of going into Forestry, Fred finally decided to join Schaeffer at Indiana.
The area of borane chemistry was growing rapidly, in part due to the Cold War and national security interests. In addition to the synthesis of pyrophoric and explosive compounds, Fred used 10B NMR spectroscopy to understand the mechanism of the aggregation of boranes into the homologs B4H10, B5H9, and B5H11. He demonstrated that 10B-enriched diborane in diethylether rapidly exchanges all ten boron positions in the anion B10H13−.〔An unusual boron exchange reaction, Schaeffer, Riley; Tebbe, Fred N. Journal of the American Chemical Society (1963), 85(13), 2020-1. 〕 His dissertation, “Studies of Interconversions of Boron Hydrides,” was completed in 1963.
Fred did two years of postdoctoral work with Professor Fred Hawthorne at the University of California, Riverside. During that time, he greatly expanded the range of known carboranes to include polyhedral B9C2H11, B8C2H10, B7C2H9, and B6C2H8 carboranes, the B7C2H13 system, and their derivatives.〔Thermal isomerization of C-phenyldicarbaundecaborate(12), Garrett, Philip M.; Tebbe, Fred N.; Hawthorne, M.
